Physiology

Regice is an Ice-type Pokémon whose body is composed of Antarctic ice that resembles a crystal. Its face has an unusual pattern consisting of seven yellow dots in a "+" formation. Its legs appear to be simply cones and it balances its entire body on those two points. In the anime, Regice moves around by floating in the air.

Gender differences

Regice is a genderless species.

Special abilities

Regice cloaks itself in air that is -328 degrees Fahrenheit (-200 degrees Celsius). It can survive if submerged in molten lava. Due to its extremely frigid body, anyone who approaches it can freeze. It is capable of surviving even extremely hot temperatures. Regice has the unexplainable ability to wield Electrical attacks like Zap Cannon.

It was seen again in Pillars of Friendship! where it was used to battle the rampaging Regigigas at the Snowpoint Temple. Regigigas used Confuse Ray on Regirock, Regice and Registeel and all four Pokémon went on a rampage. All the rampaging Pokémon (except Regigigas) faded away, and when J used her weapon to catch the immobilized Regigigas and Regirock, Regice and Registeel and eventually Pyramid King Brandon all jumped in front of J's firing range and were frozen. Regigigas eventually brought them back to life with Hidden Power.

Regice can learn Frost Breath despite having no visible orifice from which to expel breath.

Origin

Regice is based on the golems of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened.
The legendary golems' typing (and overal look, with Regice being polished ice, which is more modern than Regirock) could have been a reference to the three major ages in history, with Regice being Ice Age.
